Rockwood was nice the one time I played it. I'd be interested in playing it again if I can make the dates work for a trip down that way.

Tour 18 is hit and miss, you can play it one month and it’s fine then the next month you would not want to go back.

How so? Greens? Tees? Fairways? All around?

Might be able to make it down for a Sunday or Monday round on Memorial Day or Independence Day. Three day weekends are much easier to make it down there. Saturday mornings are difficult since I work evenings and don't get off until 2300.

Their greens have problems more than any other course I play around here. And it’s been that way for years. Pretty said as I like the course but rarely play it because of that.

Sounds like maybe they need to hire a new greens keeper.

I played I think a year and a half ago and the greens were rolled mud. Zero grass. Yesterday they were better but still horrible for what they charge. Most greens were completely covered with weeds and some had huge patches of no grass.

Yep, it's a shame too. I live a few miles away and rarely play it because it's usually in bad shape. I usually only go out there when someone is in from out of town or new to the area. People like to play it for the novelty factor, especially Amen Corner. But the course conditions range from poor to mediocree.
 
Leonards Golf Links in Fort Worth will have their Spring Demo this Saturday. Looks like most of the major club makers will be out there with clubs to demo. Saturday the 20th 10 to 2.
 
Headed up to Dallas in a month or so for a conference. What are some good courses either public or ClubCorp somewhat close to downtown. Just joined so seemed like a lot to go through 1100+ pages.

Live in Waco so familiar with DFW just not so much the golf. Just getting back into trying to golf more consistently after a decade of school. Ordered some new irons and plan to make more of an effort to play some new courses when I get out of town.

Las Colinas is a nice course. Hosted a LPGA event for some years before it moved last year. The 18th hole is booger.

Do you do the clubcorp travel program? Any specific area or anything inner loop?

If you want to stay downtown, I would recommend Brook Hollow (ClubCorp) or Stevens Park (public).

You picked a great day to play! How was the course? Place seems to drain well, but there are some spota that are always swampy....

lol...before we started they went over the rules, they said women and seniors hit from the forward tees, so on that hole, I moved up after encouragement from the team to take advantage of my age, and hit one 290. The forward tee was 50-60 yards in front of the white tees...lol
